@Det0x Do or will you have access to a X870E board? I can't wait to see some proper testing of whether the claims of increased RAM performances/frequency is legit (I have to admit I'm skeptical).

Have had for over 2 months already like i said
But get a 870E GENE if you want ramspeed

Took some pictures from my Zen5 delid, if your well versed in overclocking these will probably not be so interesting, but maybe they can help some of the new users around here 👍

Only thing left now is to install the naked beauty before the abuse starts 😈🤣

No Lapping?

No, i usually dont lap the bare silicon dies 😅

Bah! - Where is your sense of adventure?!?!
There has to be a small bit to gain!
Those last few nm of smoothness are calling!

So, after the info drop yesterday about Win 11 24H2, I have now installed the OS, turned off Cortana, OneDrive, CoPilot and Win AI Snapshot.

Doing updates, drivers, software installs now.

AMD Ryzen 9000X3D Processors Now Expected to Launch at CES 2025

While we expected some announcements this week, it stays quiet at AMD. The release of AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D processors is now anticipated at CES 2025, potentially delaying the launch initially expected in October alongside the 800-series motherboards.

www.guru3d.com

Looks like no 9000X3D until next year.

AMD taking revenge on us for criticizing Zen 5...

I bet 7800X3D is selling so well after the Intel snafu and Zen5 Windows perf mystery, they are not in a hurry to drop new new X3D 🤣

 

[igor_kavinski]

Maybe they will make the decision once Arrow Lake is launched. If it's a dud, release Z5X3D late. If it's competitive, we get it early.

Nope, if X3D release timing was based on how competitive Intel is then it'd be releasing about a few weeks ago.

Feeling a bit froggy because the 990 EVO 1TB is on sale; thinking about getting 2, one used for Windows OS install and one used for a Linux OS install 🤔

After reading reviews, the 990 EVO was underwhelming, picked up an HP FX900 Pro, best option I found yesterday :|

From Newmaxx SSD sheet:

x4 PCIe 4.0/NVMe, InnoGrit IG5236, Quad-core, 8-ch, DRAM Yes, Micron, TLC, 176 layer, speed 7400/6700

Finally. Its almost done, just the OS. This is the cleanest build I have ever done. Cable management and a glass front and side !

Turin 64C?

 

[Markfw]

Turin 64C?

This is just a 9950x build. The Turin will be in the Turin builders thread when done. It comes Monday ! And for the moment it will only be replacing a 9554 Genoa. Later on the full build using 192 gig 6000 ECC registered ram

Mobo BIOS updated and ready for the new CPU?

BIOS for the 9950x ? Yes, and I almost finished the windows install, so I know it works.

Genoa motherboard is not supposed to need it. If it does, there are no versions that are documented to support Turin. Its a shot in the dark.

Gotta respect that risk taking attitude

Not really a risk. Eventually, there will be a bios to support Turin for that motherboard since they are pin compatible. Just a matter on months.

What motherboard did you end up going with? If my X58 finally craps out, just did some fiddling yesterday with it (crashes), I was possibly going to get an Asus X670E-Plus Tuf Gaming Wifi and just throw a 9600X or a 7600X in it.

If you are talking to me, the X670E Taichi, with the latest bios (check I did with no memory or CPU but using whatever mde that is)

But I am using 7200 on the memory speed, its just EXPO mode or whatever, have not checked to see if its 1:1 or 1:2.

 

[Markfw]

wow,7200 1 T I don't believe it !

@1.3 volts no less.

 

[igor_kavinski]

Great!

Which RAM kit do you have that worked straight away in EXPO?

Now benchmark requests

MaxxMem2 with and without 7-max
Geekbench 5 and 6
Rapydmark High with and without 7-max

Bonus points if you can provide all these with and without SMT.

That's six benchmark runs.

If you do the SMT disabled ones, that's six more.

 

[IEC]

That's for sure running 1:2 divider.
